yay blood bowl

Play yer games!

Hello, I'm a complete beginner who recently got Blood Bowl 2. Can I get some tips on chaos? My warriors keep getting injured and my minotaur never does anything, and when he decides to do anything he always rolls skulls. He already killed himself once. Wtf?

The state I'm from would be strong.

The state near my state that I've been raised to dislike would be weak.

Generally coastal states would probably do better, since those are the states that are already doing better but there's a few exceptions.

Even divided, each state would be strong. Each would have its specialty and each would fiercely hold onto its turf. There would be border skirmishes pushing the line couple miles here and there, but on the grand scheme of things, they all stand divide as firmly as they once stood united.
Except for Florida that remains unconquered not by its vigilance but rather through rapid fall into the state of decay both literal and metaphorical that nobody wants to take piece of.

The dark empire was an underground Industrial civilization. while it still exists today, it is a fraction of the size it once was. Its industrial plants still exist today however, and those that can figure out how to use them make great use of them.

the dark empires crowning achievement in the old world was developing firearms.

Great wheels for grinding rock and giant furnaces for smelting ore with molds for liquid metal to be poured into are among the many empty and quiet corridors of the abandoned empire.

The Dark lord of the mountain sees these as his territory and will violently take over any lost industries that he finds, branding or killing the inhabitants before replacing them with his own servants.

>almost the entire pro tour is RDW versus something else or another RDW

Since I suspect a ton of people will bring RDW to both the tour and Game Day, as it's cheap and easy, I've tried adjusting my New Perspectives deck a bit.// 60 Maindeck
// 8
5 Forest
1 Island
1 Plains
1 Swamp

// 9 Creature
4 Shefet Monitor
4 Vizier of Tumbling Sands
1 Sphinx of the Final Word

// 9 Enchantment
3 Cast Out
3 New Perspectives
3 Gift of Paradise

// 12 Instant
4 Haze of Pollen
4 Renewed Faith
4 Shadow of the Grave

// 15 Land
3 Sheltered Thicket
2 Fetid Pools
4 Irrigated Farmland
4 Scattered Groves
2 Fortified Village

// 7 Sorcery
2 Razaketh's Rite
4 Traverse the Ulvenwald
1 Approach of the Second Sun


// 15 Sideboard
// 1
SB: 1 Mountain

// 4 Creature
SB: 1 Nimble Obstructionist
SB: 2 Kefnet the Mindful
SB: 1 Angel of Sanctions

// 3 Enchantment
SB: 3 Drake Haven

// 5 Instant
SB: 2 Dispel
SB: 2 Chandra's Defeat
SB: 1 Negate

// 2 Sorcery
SB: 2 Radiant Flames

Opinions on this build?
The Rites help a lot with finding Perspectives when hitting 5 mana to make sure it lands the turn after and the side board is obviously primarily built against RDW with all that removal. Not sure if I'm keeping the angel and the second Kefnet in or to replace them with another Negate and an Essence Scatter.

Most likely some kind of temur emerge or UR control deck. I really liked the deck played by Josh Utter Leyton that was shown on camera for a bit. He played temur emerge with hour of promise. Deep fiend into hour of promise seems pretty sick since it let's you eternalize champion of wits next turn

reserved list, as it intended, will not last forever.

Did they say it wasn't permanent?

>>54557941
I believe they should

Right now it only really benefits collectors. It's bad for people wanting to get into formats, it's bad for people holding tournaments for those formats, it's bad for card vendors.

The reasons for it existing was to prevent Magic from dying. I believe Magic is far from dying at this point and it serves no real purpose anymore.

Some of my elves don't even have writing, but record their entire history in songs. Even their personal history, it is the purpose of every male elf to go out there and do badass stuff for the honor of his tribe and to get a song of himself that the tribe will eagerly sing as long as it exists and to not make the memory of him fade away. They come together to have competetions and singing songs about beating up other tribes and fucking their women is their way of insulting each other in a cultured manner.

Humans actually picked that up, but since they write they aren't so obsessed with this.

With slight lyrical modifications (pretty much just changing Northmen to Carskan, English to Lornish, and the proper names), this is a pretty common song in-setting. The story itself is completely real, retelling the story from the War of Carskan Aggression. The author was a relatively renowned Lornish hymnist, composed to give words to the resentment and hunger for retribution that many Lornishmen feel both aboard in the West as well as back home. It's a song which calls the righteous to fight against their oppressors, which projects the inevitability of their revenge upon the Authority and its agents.

Essentially, it's the song of conquered paladins, eagerly striking back at their oppressors when given a chance.

Titan size is approximately 3 times human size. So titan battledress is normal battledress for really really tall creatures, or a mecha for a human.

so...Vargr?

Pirates and Maruaders, or Humaniti's Best Friend?

How do you prefer 'em, generally, anons?

Great to see things still grinding along.
Keep it up at whatever pace need to.

Been following this labour of love since the earliest threads, and I love to see it fleshed out.
Cheers m8

Sweet. I've had a campaign idea for a while now, but my group has wanted to do other stuff first. Glad it's only getting better while I wait.

Forgot pic.

I'd also like to try and finish off this if we can, or atleast sort out exactly how the Chaos movement goes.
Sorry I haven't been as active I'm still doing my 75 hour work weeks and it is bloody killing me.

Terrible fanfiction for people that couldn't care about Eldar if they wouldn't provide them with wank-material done by "fan"-artists that don't have a clue about the lore either. Some of you even actively hate Eldar Your Monkeigh-shit is an insult to the race you waifu.

Second for da Orks!

Goffs rule, da rest are grots.

Posted last thread, but could you guys give me a hand with refining this before shit hits the fan:
Gameplay:
> Turns happen like they do in LOTR
> You move, I move, you shoot, I shoot sort of thing.
> Stratagems can be used similar to how might is used in LOTR.
> Movement restrictions and cover is based off of Armageddon

Combat:
> Tactically there are different stances like in Armageddon and LOTR that allow units to act in different ways with pros and cons.
> Firing arc and weapons based of of Armageddon too.

When it comes to HQ
> We split HQ into heroes and warlords.
> Only one Warlord can be used per force
> Guys like Chaos lords got split up into "Chaos Lords" and "Champions of Chaos" with one being a hero and the other a Warlord.
> HQ choices get Might Will and Fate like from LOTR
> Personal Stratagems can be played by Warlords at the cost of might.

The next steps are to translate fluff to crunch with new unit rules. Our initial ideas involve making autoguns salvo 1/2 (without the half-range penalty for moving) and keeping lasguns rapid fire for different play styles.

Any older edition. Even the travesty of 3e is more likely to be a challenge than 5e.

D&D 4e.

>>54615688
There's always better options than D&D. Just depends on what you mean by "better"?

Like, when you say the monsters are too arbitrary, do you mean you wish that they were built like characters?

Quick question since I'm working on the JLU jump. Is anyone still interested in making a Static Shock jump or should I just integrate elements from that into JLU?

>>54614213
If you do, please make sure we get Bang Babies gas please?

>>54614213
>a Static Shock jump
I really want to see one but don't think I would do it myself. Not without re watching the series which probably won't happen anytime soon.
